(Whiteboard: [type:feature])

We have talked about doing more video tutorials on the MDN, but video support (as I understand it) is lacking in a few areas. Most importantly, it seems that videos can only be added to the MDN through the <video> tag. This makes flash fallbacks impossible and adds a hurdle for anyone who wants to provide a video in multiple formats -- each new video requires a new file upload and a new line of HTML. My idea is to make video a first class citizen of the MDN: Provide a really nice interface for uploading a video that automatically converts it to a few different formats and sets those formats up as fallbacks wherever the video is used. There is a service for this that was popular about a year back, but the name escapes me.

See also bug 861996, which describes a basic MVP for embedding YouTube videos. This bug describes the longer-term feature of more fully supporting video content (other video sources, other display options, etc.)

YouTube videos can now be embedded. If we see a need for other types of video content, we can open new bugs.
